299-for-tat

"Is that you want to sacrifice gold coins?"

A young man with short bright blonde hair appeared in front of Joyce.

Joyce knew that this man was the number three person in the Temple of Workin, and was generally in charge of logistics. It is now known that Lady Shirley is the bishop of the Temple of Waukin, and that the entire temple is under her control. And Ms. Katy is in charge of the security of the temple, and under her command, there is a group of quite powerful mercenaries, as for this young man, his name seems to be called Beta, who is responsible for the temple's repair, the welfare of the believers, and the supervision of the construction of the school.

Although it is said to be a character, in terms of importance, it is naturally not as important as the two ladies Shirley and Katy.

Thinking of this, Joyce felt a little contemptuous of the young man, and he said, "You are the one who sacrifices me the gold coins?" ”

Beta nodded, "That's true. ”

He saw the distraction on Joyce's face, but he didn't care. This man is in the Bronze Drum City, after Glinton, the second person willing to sacrifice gold coins, as long as he becomes a professional, then it is an excellent propaganda point, if the public opinion is well guided in the future, then it can solve the future financial problems of the Vorgold Temple in one fell swoop.

Joyce, however, said displeasedly, "Why didn't Lady Shirley sacrifice me with gold coins?" ”

"Ms. Shirley is okay too."

Hearing this, Joyce's eyes lit up.

Beta continued, "But Lady Shirley is the bishop of our temple, and if she were to guide the gold sacrifice, then according to the rules set by our goddess, you would have to pay a service fee of one hundred gold coins. ”

"So expensive!" Joyce's jaw dropped.

The goddess of Waujin can convert gold coins into character experience, and one gold coin has one character experience point. And to upgrade from level zero to LV1, that is, from an ordinary person to a professional, it takes a hundred gold coins. But a hundred gold coins is not a small amount. A lot of small aristocrats. There is absolutely no way to reach a hundred gold coins with the savings of the family.

Generally speaking, most of the people who can grit their teeth and take out a hundred gold coins in one go have already entered the ranks of the middle nobility.

Joyce finally made up his mind to come out with a hundred gold coins and turn himself into a professional, but asked him to pay another hundred gold coins. He didn't want to. Although Ms. Shirley is said to be very beautiful, a hundred gold coins will give her a favor, which is too expensive.

"Well, it's up to you." Joyce sighed heavily, feeling more and more that he was not a nobleman, but a poor man.

In the entire Workin Temple, there is only one person who can activate the 'Gold Coin Sacrifice' for the time being. The reason why he said this was to dispel Joyce's thoughts. At the same time, it also made him mistakenly think that Shirley also had this ability. Intelligence is real and false, and in some cases, it will play a protective role.

Beta dressed Joyce into the temple while Shirley was leading the believers in prayer, and when she saw her master come in, she quickly finished the prayer and led the believers to both sides.

Beta asked Joyce to stand under the statue of the goddess. Then I opened the temple management system and applied for the 'Gold Sacrifice' function.

Wait for Joyce to be shrouded in a golden magic array. Beta then asked his retinue to pour a hundred gold coins into the magic circle, and after about half a minute, the magic circle disappeared and Joyce walked out.

He looked at his hands...... Because Joyce is middle-aged, he also has many wrinkles on his hands, but now. His hands, however, were smooth and elastic, like those of young people.

Then he touched his face, which was not wrinkled, and when he walked out of the temple, he let out a long roar at the sky, shouting out all the joy and happiness that filled his heart. The lifespan of a professional. It's a lot more than the average person.

As a member of the aristocracy, Joyce didn't like professionals very much before, and always found them rude. But in essence, including Joyce, the nobles were very envious of the professionals, but they couldn't endure hardship.

Now that Joyce is a professional, he feels the majestic vitality in his body, and he feels his strength and vitality. If not so long ago, he was a weak chicken who would pant after a short walk, now, he feels like a powerful warrior who can kill a beast with a single punch.

In fact, Joyce didn't get much better when he became a professional, but his body became healthier and he lived longer. Joyce's basic attribute growth is too poor, and his profession is the worst 'militia' among all professions, which is more than enough to deal with ordinary people, but when he encounters other professions, he can only be beaten.

However, Joyce was not aware of this, and Beta was not going to talk to him about it.

"Lord Beta, if I want to increase my strength by another level, how many gold coins will I need?" Joyce turned around and asked, "If I have enough gold, can I go up indefinitely?" ”

"Theoretically possible, but practically impossible." Beta explained: "You are now from an ordinary person to a professional, only one hundred gold coins, but to improve the first-class strength, it will take two hundred gold coins, and the next time it will need four hundred gold coins, and so on, I think Your Excellency should be able to calculate, in the end, the gold coins needed will be an astronomical amount." ”

Joyce was silent for a moment, then he said, "I'll come again tomorrow, two hundred gold coins, I'll bring it." ”

At this time, Joyce has been conquered by the vitality and strength in his body, he wants to become stronger, and for him, the fastest way to become strong is to sacrifice gold coins.

"Tomorrow morning, I will wait here for Your Excellency." Beta nodded, and then persuaded: "Although it is said that it is very simple to gain strength by sacrificing gold coins, I still want to say that self-training is the best way for a professional to grow." Gold can't help you get to Legendary. ”

"I'm very satisfied to be able to reach the elite."

Joyce smiled and was about to leave, when she saw a white carriage coming from a short distance and stopping in front of the two of them.

The white carriage was luxurious, and the white steed was very heroic, and Bard got out of the carriage, his gaze swept over the beta and landed on Joyce, quite displeased. He originally planned to personally convert this person to the Goddess of Light, but he didn't expect that the other party would actually come to the Waujin Temple.

Many people don't know that Beta is the person in charge of the Waujin Temple, but Bard does.

He smiled at Beta and said, "Long time no see, Your Excellency. ”

"yes, long time no see." Beta was a little strange at first, why Bard came here, but after seeing Joyce, he immediately reacted, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "I can only stay in this poor slum, but Lord Bard can attend the nobles' balls and banquets every day, which is really enviable." ”

"We are believers in the goddess of light, and we never like to live too luxuriously." Bard pretended to draw a circle on his chest, one of the common prayer gestures of the Temple of Light, and his eyes gradually became fierce: "Your Excellency, do you remember our oath?" ”

"Of course I do." Beta nodded: "That's why I didn't step into the rich area." Your Temple of Light is very good at reconnaissance, and I think my actions should be under your surveillance. ”

Bud snorted, "If you didn't go out, then Lord Joyce, why did you come here?" ”

"He came on his own." Beta smiled: "I remember our oath very well, I will not enter the rich area, and I do not plan to preach to them. ”

"But Lord Joyce has come to this place." Bard's expression grew colder.

Beta's expression was still as indifferent: "Your Excellency Joyce has hands and feet, he wants to come here, naturally I can't stop him." ”

"But this is not in keeping with our oath, and you have betrayed my trust in you."

As soon as Beta heard this, she immediately burst out laughing: "Trust! You wish I had broken my oath. Then you can ask the God of justice to punish me. By the way, you can ask for an oath adjudicated by the God of Justice, and of course, if the God of Justice thinks that I have not broken my oath, then you will have to pay a price. ”

Seeing that he couldn't be fooled, Bard threatened: "Hmph, it's better not to have a next time for such a thing." ”

Beta said-for-tat: "I will not take the initiative to go to the rich area to preach, but if they want to come, I will definitely not refuse." There will be not only a next time, but many times for such a thing. We, the Temple of Waukin, never close our doors to the pious. ”

Bard stared at Beta viciously for a moment, then pulled out a smile and asked Joyce on the side, "Your Excellency, didn't I make an appointment with you yesterday?" I went to your manor just now, and I waited for a long time and didn't see you come back. ”

Joyce naturally knew why the two of them were arguing, and he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "I suddenly wanted to come here to do something, so I came over...... By the way, didn't I ask someone to send a message to you, didn't you receive it? ”

Bud shook his head, if he received it, he would naturally not go to the door again. But because of this, he also knew that there were nobles who took the initiative to find the Wolkin Temple.

Bard glanced at Beta, then said, "Lord Joyce, why don't we go back together?" ”

"Okay!" Joyce had just become a professional and was now full of questions, and Bud was a bishop and a powerful professional, and on the way back, Joyce felt that he could ask him questions about the professional.

Without looking at Beta again, or saying goodbye, Bard pulled Joyce into the carriage and let the coachman drive out of the slum.

In the slightly swaying carriage, Bard was thinking about how to open his mouth and ask Joyce what reason he had for going to the Waujin Temple, but the latter suddenly spoke first: "Your Excellency Bud, you are well-informed, I want to ask you one thing, is the militia profession powerful?" ”

Bard was stunned for a moment: "Militia...... Do you mean that kind of cavalry reserve militia, or do you mean a militia among the professionals? ”

"I'm a militia now. Professionals. Joyce looked at Bard eagerly: "Your Excellency, do you know the strengths and weaknesses of the militia?" ”

Bud was taken aback: "How do you know you're a militiaman, and a professional isn't that easy to do." (To be continued.) )
